237672 Gnr. James Smith British Army 136th Heavy Field Artillery Royal Garrison Artillery from:19 Portneys Lane, Cork City, Co. Cork, Ireland (d.2nd June 1918) James Smith was my maternal grand-father. He was born in Cork on 20th March 1883 and died on 2nd June 1918 and is buried in Flanders at Canada Farm Cemetery. He was married to Mary O'Flynn, known as Molly and had two children, Edward and Margaret who was my mother. Before the war he was a salmon fisherman on the River Lee in Cork. He had four brothers-in-law, one of whom was Michael O'Flynn Irish Guards who died during a training excercise at Poperinge and is buried at Watou Churchyard Cemetery. Another brother-in-law Robert O'Flynn was in the 2nd Battalion Cork IRA, some contradiction in the family.
